There's nobody I won't draft (except LHPs, of course)

I'm not "TRYING" to lose games. But to have the players I want, they need to rest. I just decide to rest them all at once and take my chances.

No cheating going on. In fact, I keep all my players in at least the blue as far fatigue is concerned.

rufusjonz, over two years ago I found a glitch in the system that allowed me to offer a trade and approve it before the other owner new what hit him. I NEVER used this strategy and spent six months trying to convince Admin it was there. I actually did it twice. The first time on accident, which I notified everybody but ultimately just did it again to reverse it. (OK, I guess I did three times) The last time was with a friend in an agreed upon swap of meaningless players so Admin could see what happened. They did finally close that loophole. Now that would be cheating.

What I'm doing is not cheating. You may not like the fact I pay less for studs because they don't have enough PA. But believe me it's not easy playing catch-up all the time either.

This strategy is time consuming and difficult
i didnt know u were one!

thanks for fessing up

I don't think American is a recognized race.

I think it just makes you xenophobic and especially vulnerable to eurotrash women and Belgian lager.

...i guess everything has an upside...

It is your team to manage as you see fit but can I ask why? Actually, I usually start off losing anyway because I guess I just suck at drafting....

You can avoid early season fatigue if you rest your regulars the first game or three.

If the Red Sox call up a minor league scrub to start a meaningless game against the Royals, so that they can save Beckett for the Yankees, are they cheating? And if they sit Manny and Ortiz against the Royals, because they're tired and they want them as rested as possible against the Yankees, is that cheating too? Are the Red Sox deliberately throwing the game to the Royals?
